I love my Eversolo DMP-A6 (I use it only as a streamer for the native Apple Music for hires lossless, 2 wifi to eliminate ethernet noise). I use an external DDC Denafrips Iris 12th and DAC Denafrips Pontus II 12th-1. Eversolo does everything I want: - native Apple Music (most important that makes the sale) - cast feature allows full functionality on my iPhone - 4tb local storage for music - ripping my CDs to the eversolo - can upgrade the power supply to a linear LPS by Beatechnik for $280. - optional remote - graphic equalizer - UV meter The only things missing that I don't need but maybe some people do: - HDMI input from TV (alternative is use optical) - subwoofer output - trigger output

You missed one important part on Roon: It allows you to create a unified library and playlists that includes music from all of your streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, KKBOX) and your locally stored (or stored on Dropbox) music collection. I do have a lot of albums and songs, that are not available on streaming services. I also have some high quality recordings which I got directly from the studios in DSD format. Now with Roon, you can play this all together as one music experience, no matter where you are (thanks to Roon ARC). In this respect, Roon is superior to streaming clients like BlueSound, Sonos, Heos, Auralic Lightning DS, Naim, etc.

Hey Andrew and Kristi! Love the conversation. Couple of points about Roon that were missed… It doesn’t support Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. I use it with Qobuz, and it works with Tidal and a few other less popular services. The cool thing about devices that are “Roon Ready” is that Roon can group multiple end points for whole home playback. It can do this with “Roon Tested” devices as well, but it can only group devices using the same protocol (AirPlay, Chromecast, Sonos, etc). The good thing about modern Sonos devices is that they support AirPlay2, so you can interact with Sonos endpoints in that way to get Sonos and non-Sonos AirPlay devices playing back in synchronicity. Others have mentioned the DSP capabilities and cataloging prowess, and ability to blend local music files and streaming files… all of which are highlights of the service. One feature I appreciate is that Roon allows you to see the full audio signal chain per endpoint, including sampling rate and bit depth, and if there is any conversion that Roon has done.

I2S, conventionally, is the internal digital signal that all digital audio devices use. The signal includes data as well as clock signals. The problem with transferring audio signals over USB is that it does not include clock signals, which are important to reducing and eliminating jitter in the sound. PS Audio figured that they could take that I2S signal and directly output it (without converting it to another output types like Toslink, AES, or Coax that had not-so-great signal limitations) using a modified HDMI-type port and cable to an external DAC. The advantage to this is that digital source devices can now use external DACs to process High-Resolution sound. Before, you were stuck with whatever DAC was inside the digital source. PS Audio decided to use an HDMI cable to accomplish this because the physical design of the cable is already conducive for digital data. Hope this helps!

I have a Marantz 5015 and the HEOS app is pure garbage. If anyone came out with a quality processor for small systems 5.1 or even just 3.1, it would be killer for people like me who don't want 16 speakers installed. I want a 3.1 system, with separate amplification, and there are simply no products on the market unless you buy $7500 AVM90 etc. All the AV processors have crap DACs/music quality and average streaming services (no aptXHD) compared to this.

Good morning and great job as always. You’ve touched on something that I hope many will appreciate - there are many ways to achieve the same result in modern audio kits/setups. And navigating these choices can be very difficult, especially for those newer to the hobby. I believe you’ve made your channel more attractive by offering both formats; more experienced viewers that simply want a quick review will appreciate the shorter initial review while newer enthusiasts benefit from enhanced discussion from the “Unplugged” offering. This creates a “win win” IMO. So once again, freaking awesome job as you continue to raise the bar for content delivery.

Hi Andrew and Kristi! My wife and I enjoy watching your videos together. Sonically, my wife prefers a similar sonic signature/profile to Kristi…lighter in the bass, more pronounced in the midrange. She has the same issue with hearing and understanding vocals in music (primarily female vocals), especially at low volumes. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Fletcher-Munson effect (at lower volumes, we typically have more difficulty hearing lower bass and upper treble, which is what loudness buttons were designed to help with). It seems her hearing works in the opposite way…at low listening levels, she has trouble hearing midrange frequencies. I wonder if Kristi is the same? I also wonder if the Fletcher-Munson tests were mainly done on men? Food for thought. Anyway, like you did for Kristi, we made a special EQ curve in our WiiM app for my wife’s preferred sound signature. Thanks for the videos.

As for your Eversolo question, the A8 is better or enhanced compared to the Z8. I don't want to make up a percentage of how much better, but I can hear differences pretty clearly and with regularity.

Thanks.....so, let me get this straight : To stream Apple Music in their lossless, 'hi-res' format , one must download / add the Apple Music app to the Eversolo App Dashboard, then make the settings for lossless preferences / bit depth / sample rate, THEN "cast" the stream from the Eversolo app to the device. ....did I nail it ?

I got the A6 and I can't imagine how there could be a better sound.... The only problem, I can't get the VU meter to sync and the spectrum theme to pop off. Any suggestions. 🖐️🤓 Hey Hey Kristy

I just hit the (i) button on the A6 remote control (physical one). It cycles through the song playing, VU, spectrum etc.

Dunno someone alreay mentioned it but Hifi Rose is Korean brand manufacured in Korea. Interesting you read Chinese in the manual. Also interesting that those from Hifi Rose were DOA since mine has been running flawlessely. Unlucky for both party I mist say.

IIS or I2S for sure is a bit of a mess, the lack of proper certification doesn't help. You could have 2 I2S devices and unless you modify the cable they won't work together. That they use HDMI as a base is great but why didn't they use the architecture. Surely there's enough bandwidth for hi res digital audio in HDMI even for DSD (the main purpose to my knowledge of I2S). A missed opportunity I think....

Trying to wrap my head around this…the sampling rates for USB/IIS/Coax/optical are stellar…yet the output for XLR and RCA show a frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz. Someone here mentioned how good it sounds on their Magnepan LRS+, a speaker that is only 50-20kHz, which wouldn’t even begin to touch what the unit boasts for the sampling/frequencies…so what speakers would you even pair with this to take advantage of the sampling rates and corresponding frequency ranges of above 88kHz? Am I missing something here?

For the money, my view is that the Eversolo is an incredible buy. You can't go wrong in my opinion. I have a HiFI Rose RS130 streamer transport which are 3 x the price of the Eversolo. It does work. It is built extremely well. Its screen and sound is next level but also is somewhat expensive but then compared to what as in great buying compared to some other exotic brands.

I'm wondering how the Eversolo connected to a good amp compares in sound quality to an all-in-one device like the Marantz 40N? I prefer to play ripped CDs and digitized vinyl from an SSD drive and I'm really impressed with the Eversolo option of connecting an SSD drive internally. On the other hand, although the Marantz HEOS system is a bit bland for streaming, it is very effective for accessing music from an SSD drive, so long as the drive is formatted in NTFS rather than FAT32.

I think you guys really missed your chance here. You could have stated that Kristi doesn't appear because she's A.I. generated. To further fuel the conspiracies, point out that 4 of the letters in her first name spell Siri. You could make up something else for the K and T. Krypton, abbreviated? P.S. the recommendation for the Bose Ultra bar was a winner. Cheers, Grant

Does it make sense to use the DMP-A8 with the KEF LS60 given that the LS 60 have built-in DACs? I assume I would have to bypass the DAC in the DMP-A8 and use the LS 60 DACs. Is a large part of the value/cost of the A8 over the A6 and A6 Master the improved DAC, which I would not be using with the KEF LS 60? or do I have this all wrong?

Thank you for clarifying where Solo A8 fits in to your system. I have an Apple TV and was considering the A8 but wasn't sure what I would have gained. It sounds like it not worth it for me.

I’m REALLY digging this new Unplugged format. It’s kind of like the best of the “bonus time with Kristi” from the reviews combined with the off-the-cuff commentary during the Live streams. Keep up the awesome work you two!

It would be nice if the video title indicated what product was being discussed. Even if it is something like “What the DAC is going on here? -EverSolo DMP-A8” I recognize there are nuances to title creation but I find ambiguous titles frustrating and I the added information would be helpful. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate the feedback but that is not something we are interested in doing. You can refer to the video's description and pinned comment for details about the video/review being referenced in the Unplugged episode. We are not including a product name in the title because (we don't want to and) because this isn't solely about the Eversolo. Thank you for watching!

If you have a DAC and an amp for your main stereo speakers and a subwoofer, how do you decode the signals for your surroundsound and height speakers? Is there a separate Dolby decoder with outputs for the effects channels? Are we stuck buying all-in-one theater relievers and relying on their amps? What do you recommend? Love the new format.

Finally! Some banter ◡̈. Andrew comes across as careful and measured (I know it is a compiled script from both of you). While Kristi is more off the cuff and some comments surprise Andrew and make him laugh. The overall effect is one that is more informative and also light hearted. That is nice.

I love my A8. I wouldn’t say it was warm but it has a slight absence of thwack/dynamics in the lower minds that makes it sound slightly softer than, say, my old RME-ADI,or the A6. But nevertheless this is a small trade off for all the things it does amazingly well - soundstage, tonality, timing, cohesion, separation and depth are all the best I have heard in my system.

Hello Andrew, Which of the three Eversolo DACs do you feel do the best job, Z8, A6, or A8? I do understand sound is in the ears of the beholder, but I value your opinion. BTW, love the new format😊.

I don't understand. We are talking about all in one units, right? Are they saying the DAC is warm or the unit? You can have a linear DAC and a warm output stage and it's warm. ESS chips are know for being linear, not warm.

I've owned a Zidoo Neo S for over a year now and have been quite happy(eversolo parent company) i get on tv album art while streaming I just wish it had arc. Also does network video streaming... Neo Alpha may have been more your speed for dac quality though. also for roon the one thing that has me interested is DSP inside roon

I2S is, for the people who believe in it, simply a better way to bring your music into your stereo system and out through your speakers. The believers of it say that the sound quality is superior to that of any other delivery system, for example, USB, coax etc.. what those unique differences are that make the sound “” better you’ll have to figure out for yourself
